Hmm, that messages wasn't supposed to be sent yet...

The problem seems to be smaller than I thought. Indeed it complains about not being able to read the exlude-lists:

My disklist contains the entry /dev/mapper/vg00-cvs btw, not /var/cvs.

But when I run a dump, it still backs up my entire CVS tree. Including, however, the directories I entered in the exclude list. So the problem I described doesn't seem to affect amdump, only the planner.

Do I do something wrong, or have I found something that needs some attention from the developers?

Greetings,

Hans
